"One of our favorite short, easy hikes. Well-shaded for much of the way. Occasionally catch some deer. Can do it in under 2 hours."

"Our favorite weekend getaway spot. Easy drive from LA, beautiful grounds. Stonehill Tavern is great. Food at beach restaurant is only so-so, but great views. Sunday brunch is to die for, save room"

"Our favorite little neighborhood cafe. Fast, friendly service. Nothing fancy but good. Love that they bring crayons for the little ones and usually a plate of cut up fruit, cheese, and avacado."

"There's a great hike for out-of-town visitors. Starts near merry-go-round. 360 views of LA and Valley from the top, plus great views of Hollywood sign. But beware...a long uphill!"

"Best farmers market in LA for kids. Train and pony rides, petting zoo, bouncy houses, plus a great farmers market. A perfect Sunday morning!"

"Personally think the Lobster mashed potatoes are overrated, but the bone-in-filet is perfect."
